Your description of the game was good and did indeed describe a good, core game. Kudos for that.

The video on the other hand... reminded me why i never want to touch the game.

If this game is classed as core, then Point Blank is the most hardcore game i have ever played. Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are more "core" than LCT.

That is all i have to say on this. Its 20 to 3 in the morning... im grumpy, and im going to bed.

Core is not an indicator of quality, nor is quality determinant as to coreness.

I would like an explanation as to how it is not core, whenever you have the time.

Yeah, im still here... for some reason. Over 1 1/2 hours later.

I take it by "core" we are talking about a game that appeals to the main Nintendo fanbase from previous generations? The core fanbase? Well, my favourite Nintendo franchise is and always has been Zelda, so when Ninty released this, they were trying to appeal to me? Yes? One of the "core" Nintendo/Zelda fanbase.

Well, IMO it is not a core game because it is not appealing to me at all. I shall tell you why i dont find it appealing.

This game is more-or-less Wii Play for the Zapper... Basicly a free game bundled with the Zapper to show off what it can do. The game can be beaten in an hour. Under an hour infact. It has very minimal replay value and a small amount of Multiplayer. It seems to be a half-assed attempt to try cash in on the Zelda/Link name to move some of the Zappers.

Just because it centers around the Zelda universe, doesn't make it a core game. Just because it is a shooter, doesn't make it a core game.

A core game has to appeal to that franchise's/genre's fans for it to be classed as a core game. This game, in no way shape or form... appeals to me at all. And i love Zelda, and i love shooters. For me, this is 100% NOT a core game.

Once again this is IMO. I know how some people here are really defensive with anything negative about Nintendo...

Feel free to try change my mind about it, i wont be arrogant and i will listen to what you have to say. Who knows, maybe we just have a different perspective on what a "core game" is.
